  • the present invention relates to the area of conductive yarns and conductive sewing threads that can transmit signal or data, optionally having reduced or eliminated crosstalk, which have an exposed exterior conductive wire and a core conductive wire, with the exterior and core conductive wires being maintained at a substantially constant distance between one another, along with products made therefrom, particularly in the area of making smart fabrics and smart garments using the conductive yam/sewing thread.
  • Such smart fabrics and garments are particularly sought for use in military and sporting applications. In military uses, such smart fabrics are used to track the wearer’s biometric readings, as well as for satellite tracking of individuals in the operational theater.
  • Such measurement is typically obtained by measuring conductivity between two separate conductive wires being worn, such that as the wearer perspires, the moisture results in an increase in conductivity between the conductive wires.
  • accurate measurements have been difficult to obtain, since the garments having such conductive yams are being worn by a subject that is active and moving, resulting in the yarns from which measurements are being taken being mobile relative to one another, thus causing fluctuations in the conductivity as the perspiration starts to get measured. Accordingly, there is a need for such conductive yarns or sewing threads in which the measurement of conductivity between two conductive wires can be performed in an accurate and consistent manner, thus permitting accurate biometric measurement via those yarns.
  • one object of the present invention is to provide a conductive composite yarn, and particularly a conductive composite sewing thread that enables the production of conductive patterns in a fabric.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide the conductive composite yam or sewing thread having at least two conductive wires therein which are maintained at a substantially consistent distance from one another during use.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a smart fabric made using the conductive composite yarn/sewing thread of the present invention.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a garment made using the smart fabric of the present invention.
  • a conductive composite yarn/sewing thread comprising:
  • a core formed of at least one strand of a conductive metal of 40 or higher gauge

  • the conductive composite yam is particularly suitable for use as a sewing thread.
  • fiber refers to a fundamental component used in the assembly of yarns and fabrics. Generally, a fiber is a component which has a length dimension which is much greater than its diameter or width. This term includes ribbon, strip, staple, and other forms of chopped, cut or discontinuous fiber and the like having a regular or irregular cross section. “Fiber” also includes a plurality of any one of the above or a combination of the above.
  • high performance fiber means that class of synthetic or natural non-glass fibers having high values of tenacity greater than 10 g/denier, such that they lend themselves for applications where high abrasion and/or cut resistance is important.
  • high performance fibers typically have a very high degree of molecular orientation and crystallinity in the final fiber structure.
  • filament refers to a fiber of indefinite or extreme length such as found naturally in silk. This term also refers to manufactured fibers produced by, among other things, extrusion processes.

Yarn can occur in a variety of forms to include a spun yarn consisting of staple fibers usually bound together by twist; a multi filament yarn consisting of many continuous filaments or strands; or a mono filament yarn which consist of a single strand.
  • air interlacing refers to subjecting multiple strands of yam to an air jet to combine the strands and thus form a single, intermittently commingled strand. This treatment is sometimes referred to as "air tacking.” This term is not used to refer to the process of "intermingling” or “entangling” which is understood in the art to refer to a method of air compacting a multifilament yam to facilitate its further processing, particularly in weaving processes. A yarn strand that has been intermingled typically is not combined with another yam. Rather, the individual multifilament strands are entangled with each other within the confines of the single strand.
